BLOGTOBER 10/27/2023: NIGHT VISITOR (1989)

Definitely not to be confused with the 1971 Swedish film starring Max Von Sydow and Liv Ulman, 1989's NIGHT VISITOR is a bizarre horror-comedy that's half-pilfered from FRIGHT NIGHT, and the other half is just...something that is not under control. A hunky teen with a "boy who cried wolf" problem witnesses a horrific murder while spying on his neighbor Shannon Tweed, and then he and his goofy friend and their "cool" gal pal endeavor to out their mean teacher as a devil worshiper. The appearance of Mme Tweed and a variety of streetwalkers from central casting seem to suggest that this is going to be really sexy, but it is not, unless you get off super hard to women tossing their hair and winking at the camera. And on that note, I must point out that the teen's mom, played by Brooke Bundy, looks so much like the neighbor he's obsessed with, that like...well if I had a friend in high school who was sexually fixated on someone who looked just like his own mother, I would never, ever let him live it down. I would be calling that poor jerk on Christmas to remind him of it every year for the rest of his life.

The circulation of the above exciting image suggests a much gnarlier horror movie than what this actually is, part of which is partly a domestic comedy between Allen Garfield as the teacher and his live-in uh companion Michael J. Pollard, who plays a deranged moron as per usual. Hardboiled cop Richard Roundtree is along for the ride for some reason; at the end he asks the kid where he got his shotgun, and upon hearing that it was his father's, Roundtree goes, "One-man vigilante, huh?", which makes no sense whatsoever. Elliot Gould plays the grizzled detective who the plucky teens convince to come out of retirement to help them, and like, they go to his house which is pretty decent-looking except there's a couple of loose shirts out that he performatively removes from a chair so they can sit down, which seems like is supposed to indicate that his life is a wreck--but if you come to my house unannounced at some random hour, I can pretty much promise that there will be a couple of loose shirts out. There are plenty of legitimate signs that I'm deteriorating into reclusivity, but I don't think that's a very good one.

Anyway I really want to spoil the end of the movie, which might help if you're short on time: After all the drama is resolved, the teen takes his friend-turned-girlfriend on an extremely long date. There is no dialog, because this was obviously never in any version of a script, and drives her around to various fun couplesy activities that you might see in a chewing gum commercial, and then finally they kiss in an astonishingly long freeze-frame. This is sort of fascinating because the movie is over an hour and a half long and it doesn't seem like they should have been so desperate for extra minutes, but you're going to get them anyway! The End.

PS My favorite part of the movie is when the satanic teacher sits on a stink bomb, or something, and all this yellow smoke comes billowing out of his ass and he starts screaming at the mischievous teen "YOU ARE TERMINATED! YOU ARE TERMINATED!", which is such a funny and meaningless thing for a teacher to yell at a student, I would never recover if this happened in my class. All I could think of is:

A visit from Puella Ignota

The other morning at about 4 AM I woke from what I supposed was a particularly hair-raising nightmare. There was a tall teenage girl standing by my bed, stock-still and silent. I didn't recognize her, couldn't make out her face because, you know, it was dark. I'm pretty sure I was yelling at her to get out. Well I knew I was because I brought my mom to my room.

"Are you okay?" she said

"Yes" I answered tentatively

Mom left but the thing is the girl was still in my room. She followed mom out.

Disclaimer: she was not my sister

how did the writers of DE make it so addicting to try and get Kim to like... smile near-imperceptibly at you in the flickering light of a cigarette glow. genuinely about to write a google docs page of word salad on this and how the way it's so irrelevant and almost certainly fruitless makes it so tantalizing

#disco elysium #rachel and i were ranting last night after the 1st day balcony convo. like it's so compelling because you KNOW it's not what you're here fo #there's so much more important going on here. you're solving a murder. you don't know who you ARE and trying to redevelop your entire sense #of self. but it's so real-life yearning to meet someone and feel an intrigue and try your best to work some magic there in the short #window you sense yourself in. because opportunity is not a lengthy visitor. and you want this world to open up for you

List of times Cecil has almost sworn on air:

• "Jeremy. Take us to the weather! Come here you son of a-" (Visitor - E43 Y2)

• "Stay tuned next for our exciting new game show: What's in the box? No! What's in the f[bleep]ing box?" (eGemony Part 3 - E119 Y6)

This concludes the list of times Cecil has almost sworn on air

This list does not include him (and Carlos) being raunchy on air, because there's too many times to count

#sorry. i was drawing the visitor scene again and remembered how protective he was over Khoshekh #AND THEN i remembered the *other* time he almost swore #i think I'm in the camp that he doesn't really swear at all and it really is a big deal when he does #wtnv #welcome to night vale #cecil palmer

ok but episode 43 "Visitor" is like. actually kinda scary

Not in a "omg that creature was sooo creepy" kinda way maybe, but Strexcorp literally. Left a violently programmed artifical creature in his booth. With the intention of scaring him into obedience

Like. They maimed his cat to try to get him to stop being so into having rights. That was clearly sending a message that they were willing to hurt his loved ones. And doesn't Lauren start asking about Janice and Carlos a few episodes later?

Jesus, that must've been terrifying. Can you imagine having your employer almost kill your cat and then start threatening your niece and boyfriend?

No wonder they were able to break Kevin so thoroughly. It's honestly surprising Cecil managed to avoid that

Listen I really want to explore the concept of lucid dreamers and how their Nightopias would work.

Imagine a Visitor who can manipulate their Nightopia at will? Bending their reality around them with their subconscious unrestrained to lash out with any emotions they have. Suddenly the Nightmarens no longer have the upper hand.

Including NiGHTS, if said Visitor ever happened to feel betrayed by them.
